An engineer asks: "Is it true that after surgery for cancer of the larynx, patients are unable to speak and have to use electronic devices to communicate?" ANSWERline: Fortunately the answer to that question is no. After laryngectomy, an operation in which the larynx or voice box is removed, approximately 65 per cent of patients eventually learn a new method of speaking. Called esophageal speech, this method forces the walls of the esophagus and pharynx to vibrate which creates a lowpitched voice.

Another 15 per cent of patients are able to use a combination of esophageal speech and an electronic device. Only 15 per cent of laryngectomees are totally dependent on artificial devices and for 5 per cent, no information is available. The International Association of Laryngectomees is an organization sponsored by the American Cancer Society made up of some 260 new voice clubs. Through their members, the laryngectomee is given encouragement and help in perfecting his or her ability to speak. 4 highway worker explains: "I have a small lump in the nipple area of my chest.

My wife says that I should see a doctor, but I told her that men never get breast cancer. SINGAPORE (AP) Most of the cooks and peddlers who work in the streets, alleys and parking lots of this crowded city are being moved. Book Review Singapore Market 'Hawkers' Are Relocated Am I right?" ANSWERline: No. Breast cancer does occur in men even though it is extremely rare. Of the estimated 90,000 new cases of breast cancer in this country in 1978 only 700 will occur in men.

This means that while it is unlikely the lump that you have discovered could signal the presence of cancer, it is important for you to have it examined by a physician as soon as possible. Surveys have shown that because men are unaware of the possibility of breast cancer in themselves, they are apt to delay medical attention. The earlier the disease is diagnosed and treated, the better the chance of cure for both men and women. A law student asks: you give me examples what occupations may influence whether or not one gets cancer?" ANSWERline: Occupational hazards associated with cancer are a source of concern and study. Rubber and aniline dye workers, for example are known to develop more bladder cancers than other workers.

Woodworkers and nickel miners develop more sinus cancer. Uranium, asbestos workers and roofers have more lung cancer and vinyl chloride workers, more liver cancer. People who work with X-rays also have a risk. As these various occupational problems are identified, safeguards are essential to alert and protect workers. THE FAUSTBALL TUNNEL.

Anyone who has read "Colditz Story," "The Wooden Horse" or one of the other accounts of escape from German prisonerof -war camps during World War II, will find this book about American POW camps hard to believe. This is not the author's fault. His research appears to have been thorough, and his style is brisk. What is hard to believe is the sloppy and slap-dash manner in which the U.S. seems to have run POW compounds through which John H.

Moore's tunnelers passed and from which they escaped with seeming ease. Judging from contemporary newspaper accounts quoted by Moore, reporters and editors were equally amazed about it at the time, but somehow this never permeated into public consciousness. We have been brought believe that only Allied POWs escaped, from II, and custody that they during SO at great personal risk, frequently facing death if caught. Moore's book makes it clear that this perception was only partially true. German POWs also escaped including the 25 Navymen who briefly melted into the countryside from Papago Park, just before Christmas in 1944.

They used athletic pursuits as a cover, spreading the earth from their tunnel over a never-to-becompleted "Faustball" or volleyball court.

USE YOU'LL BE GLAD YOU DID A colorful part of old Singapore is passing as the government relocates thousands of food stall operators and roadside merchants, who are usually called "hawkers." There are 9,642 licensed hawkers in need of resettlement and 5,370 are expected to be in new markets and purpose-built hawker centers, mostly in government housing projects, parliament was told. Most are moving in the name of urban redevelopment hygienic and environmental reasons. A few specialists have been picked to set up shop in elaborate compounds designed to attract tourists. Nocturnal food vendors are being shifted from Orchard Road Park, known as "glutton square."
